Autism assessment in English

A structured autism assessment in Sweden, conducted in English, ending in a written specialist report within 10 working days.

Autism assessment turns on how you communicate, how you read other people, and how you've adapted to environments built for someone else. All of that is mediated by language. Being assessed in a language you're still working in distorts exactly the things the assessment is trying to observe – and for people who have spent a lifetime masking, that distortion tends to run one way.

What the assessment includes

A clinical interview with one of our staff psychiatrists and a licensed psychologist.
Structured diagnostic instruments and validated rating scales.
Developmental history – how traits presented in childhood, not only now.
An assessment of everyday functioning: sensory environment, social demands, work, study, relationships.
Screening for co-occurring conditions, ADHD in particular. The two overlap often enough that we look at both rather than assuming one.
A written specialist report (läkarutlåtande) within 10 working days.
One 45-minute coaching session, included at no extra cost.

29 000 kr, all inclusive, for adults 18 and over – this is a combined neuropsychiatric assessment covering both autism and ADHD, so you are not paying twice to have both questions answered. For under-18s it is 31 000 kr. See all prices.

Assessed as an adult

A large share of the people we see are adults who were never identified as children – often because they were verbally able, academically capable, or simply quiet. Masking works, for a while, and then it becomes expensive. People frequently arrive after burnout, after a child's diagnosis prompted a second look at their own history, or after years of treatment for anxiety and depression that never quite fitted.

None of that makes a diagnosis less valid. It does mean the assessment has to take a full developmental history seriously rather than looking only at how you present in a single conversation.

Things worth knowing

No referral needed, and no regional waiting list.
The report is written in Swedish, as Swedish medical documentation must be. We go through it with you in English.
There is no medication for autism itself. Where ADHD is also present, medication may be relevant for that; otherwise support is practical – coaching, adjustments at work or in study, and help explaining your needs.
Re-evaluations. If you have an existing diagnosis you believe no longer fits, a re-evaluation is 20 000 kr.
